Hoyer argues shutdowns reflect political choices and says stronger political will, not weakened Congress, should prevent them.
Quiver AI Summary
Hoyer remarks on shutdown reform: In a House Appropriations hearing, Congressman Steny Hoyer said “political will” is more important than changing Congress’ powers when it comes to preventing funding lapses and shutdowns. He said he disagreed with proposals discussed at the hearing, arguing they could shift more authority to the executive branch.
Witnesses and examples cited: Hoyer questioned Senator James Lankford, Representative Tom McClintock, and former OMB Director Shalanda Young. He cited past administrations and shutdowns, while Young said agencies and OMB typically make operational decisions during a shutdown, with input from the White House when needed.
Broader argument: Hoyer said shutdowns can increase presidential control over agency decisions and said agreement between the branches, rather than weakening Congress, is the better solution. He also said shutdowns affect federal workers and others, and noted periods when the government did not shut down under agreements between Congress and the president.
